The Ballon d’Or has announced the 3 criteria journalists need to consider when voting:
✅ 𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐃𝐔𝐀𝐋 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄
How well has the player performed individually? Important and decisive moments, as well as consistency, are key.
✅ 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐌 𝐒𝐔𝐂𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒
The trophies the player has won with his team and how important he was to his team in winning them.
✅ 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐑 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘
The player’s behaviour, considering his respect and attitude both on and off the field.

Was point 3 the reason why Vinicius Jnr missed out on the Balon Dor to Rodri Cascante?
Some more details that have emerged since the Queiroz news:
1. Apparently, he actually quit. Submitted his resignation letter yesterday morning and the FA scheduled a debrief for the evening where he laid down a plethora of reasons why he couldn’t continue, hence the part of his statement that said he didn’t stay because “the right conditions were not well established”.
2. For example, Queiroz said he didn’t understand the team was training everyday in the stadium, the same venue of the game, and not at a different facility.
3. Complained about late arrival. He prefers to arrive in Ghana at least 10 days before the team gathers, he only got here 2 days before, because his ticket didn’t come early.
4. Also preferred that the team stayed at Kempinski, they took them to African Regent. Alisa wasn’t an option because they owe them so much money from previous stays that they sacked the team from there.
5. He also complained about interference, telling close associates that there were some players in camp he knew nothing about. He hinted at this when he said team selection needs to be done with “honesty”.
6. He also wanted more control of the backroom staff, and he was only granted partial control. He actually wanted to bring his own doctor, nutritionist, team manager etch. They only gave him his own nutritionist.
